Weigh-in / Weigh-out # 3
This program uses the ID memory for weigh-in / weigh-out transactions. An ID record
is created using the Weigh-in function. The Weigh-out function recalls the ID, calculates
Gross/Tare/Net of the transaction, prints the transaction, and adds the net weight to the
ID’s totals register. The ID data is saved for further weigh-in/weigh-out transactions, or
weigh-out only transactions. A sequential transaction number is maintained for printing
purposes.
Weigh-In
Press the F1 key. The display prompts "id". Enter up to 8 digits for the weigh-in ID and
then press the ENTER key. The scale weight is stored in the ID's tare register and print
page 3 is sent to the printer. If the ID has been weighed in but not weighed-out then "Err
20" is displayed. Press the CLEAR key to exit without changing the ID data, press the
ENTER key to enter the new ID data.
Weigh-Out
Press the F2 key. The display prompts "id". Enter up to 8 digits for the weigh-out ID
and then press the ENTER key. The indicator recalls the ID from memory, calculates
the gross, tare and net weights, totals the net weight and sends the weigh-out data (page

Scale Parameters
The scale parameters configure the AD-5000 for the weigh platform or load cell that it is
connected to. The preceding table titled “SCALE PARAMETERS” lists the scale
parameters and their factory settings. Use the “Field setting” column to record any
changes made to the factory default values.
Many of the following parameters are entered in terms of “graduations”. The full-scale
graduations can be found by dividing the full-scale weight by the count-by weight. For
example, if the scale is configured for 500.00kg x 0.05kg, the full-scale graduations is
500.00/0.05 = 10,000 graduations to full scale.
The numbers in parenthesis are the default factory settings.
Parameter 1. Load Cell mv/V (3 mv/v)

The AD-5000 can be used with load cell outputs of 1 mv/V, 2 mv/V, or 3 mv/V. Enter a
1, 2, or 3 for the load cell type used in your application.
Setting A/D gain
0 200
1 mV/v 100
2 mV/v 100
3 mV/v 50
4 25
Parameter 2. Digital Filter (9)
The digital filter removes scale vibrations and other noise signals from the weight
display. The filter range is between 0 and 18. A setting of 0 provides no filtering; a
setting of 18 provides maximum filtering. The higher the filters number the longer the
settle time of the weight display. For example:
Filter Setting Settle Time
3 0.4 sec
6 0.8 sec
9 1.75 sec
12 3.5 sec
15 7.0 sec
Use the smallest filter setting that provides satisfactory display stability.
Parameter 3. Display Update Rate (1)

Enter the time between display updates (in tenths of a second). An update rate of 1
causes a 0. 1-second delay between display updates, a rate of 200 causes a 20 second
delay between updates. NOTE: motion detection is calculated using the weight values of
the display rate. If the update rate is 50, the motion calculation is based on weight
readings sampled at 0.5sec intervals.
23
Parameter 4. Motion Detection Delay (6)

Motion detection delay is used by the motion detection function to determine if the scale
is in motion (not stable). Enter the amount of time (in tenths of a second) that the scale
must be stable for motion status to be false (scale status = stable).
Example: 0 = disables motion detection.
2 = 0.2 second delay before motion = false (stable = true).
15 = 1.5 second delay.
30 = 3.0 second delay.
Parameter 5. Motion Detection Band (6)
The motion band is used by the MOTION DETECT function to determine if the scale is
in motion (not stable). If the amount of change between display updates (parameter 2) is
greater than the motion band, a MOTION status is generated (unstable condition). The
motion band is entered in units of ¼ dd, i.e.. For a motion band of:
½ display division enter 2 ½ x 4 = 2.
2 display divisions enter 8 2 x 4 = 8.
4.5 display divisions enter 18 4.5 x 4 = 18.
Parameter 6. Display Blanking During Motion (No Blanking)

When display blanking is enabled, the display is blanked (turned off) when the scale is in
motion (not stable). Enter a 1 (yes) to enable display blanking, enter a 0 (no) to disable
display blanking.
Parameter 7. Zero Tracking Delay (0)

The automatic zero tracking function removes small deviations from zero. The AD-5000
adjusts the zero setting by approximately 1/30th of a display digit per delay interval. The
delay interval is the number effective A/D conversions between adjustments.
Parameter 8. Zero tracking band (12)

The zero tracking band is the maximum displacement from zero wherein zero tracking is
active. In order for zero tracking to be active, the following conditions must be met:
• Scale weight is within Zero Track Band.
• Scale is stable (no motion)
• Zero Track Band is greater than 0 (zero).
The zero tracking band is entered in units of ¼ dd, i.e.. For a band of:
½ display division enter 2 ½ x 4 = 2.
2 display divisions enter 8 2 x 4 = 8.
4.5 display divisions enter 18 4.5 x 4 = 18
Parameter 9. Push Button Zero Percent (100)
Enter the percent of full-scale capacity that can be acquired as the zero point with the
ZERO key. 1 = 1%, 2 = 2%, ... 100 = 100%.
24
Parameter 10. Primary Units Type (1 [LB])

The scale is calibrated in the primary units. The UNITS key is used to toggle the weight
display between primary units and alternate units. Enter the number that corresponds
with the primary units:
0 = UNDEFINED, no units printed
1 = LB
2 = kg
3 = ton
4 = tne
5 = gram
6 = oz
7 = use print label 32 for units
8 = use print code 1 for units
NOTE: when parameter 10 is changed parameters 13 and 16 must be programmed.
Parameter 11. Decimal Point Position (0 [no decimal point])

Enter the decimal point position for the primary units display. For example, if the scale is
calibrated x 0.05 the decimal position = 2.
Parameter 12. Count-by (1)

Enter the primary units count-by. For example, if the scale is configured for:
X 0.05 count-by = 5
X 0.2 count-by = 2
X1 count-by = 1
X5 count-by = 5
X 50 count-by = 50
Note: the entry for 0.05 and 5 is the same. The decimal point position (parameter 11)
differentiates between the count-by 0.05 and count-by 5.
Parameter 13. Alternate Units Type (2 [kg])

Alternate units are the alternate display and print unit of measure that can be used in
addition to the primary units. The UNITS switch on the AD-5000’s keyboard toggles
the weight display between primary units and secondary units.
0 = UNDEFINED, no units printed
1 = LB
2 = kg
3 = ton
4 = tne
5 = gram
6 = oz
7 = use print label 32 for units
8 = use print code 1 for units
Parameter 14. Alternate Decimal Point (1)
Enter the decimal point position for the alternate units display.
25
Parameter 15. Alternate Count-by (5)

Enter the alternate units count-by.
Parameter 16. Alt Units Conversion Factor (45,360)

The AD-5000 calculates the alternate weight by multiplying the primary weight by the
conversion factor and then dividing by 100,000. The following table lists some common
conversions.
Alternate Units Conversion Factor Table
Conversion Conversion Factor Conv. Fact. x 100,000
LB to kg 0.45359 kg/lb 45,359
kg to LB 2.20462 lb/kg 220,462
LB to Ton 0.0005 Ton/lb 50
kg to tonne 0.001 tonne/kg 100
gram to oz 0.352739 oz/gram 352,739
oz to gram 28.3495 gram/oz 2,834,950
lb to lb 1 100,000
kb to kg
etc.
Enter the conversion factor x 100,000 for the configured alternate units.
Parameter 17. Full Scale Graduations (10,000)

Enter the number of graduations at full scale. The full-scale graduations are calculated
using the count-by, decimal position, and full-scale weight.
Full Scale Graduations = Full Scale Weight / count-by.
For example, if Full Scale Weight = 600.0 and count-by = 0.2 then Full Scale
Graduations = 600.0 / 0.2 = 3000.
Parameter 18. Overload Graduations (10,200)

Enter the number of graduations at which the scale is in overload status. The AD-5000
displays Err oL on the numeric display when the scale weight exceeds overload. For
example, if the Full Scale Graduations is 10,000 grads and the scale is rated for 2%
overload, then Overload Graduations = 10,000 + (10,000 x 0.02) = 10,200.
Parameter 19. Deadload Offset

This parameter is automatically calculated by the configure function (60 & 80).
Parameter 20. Disable Power-On Zero (1 [disabled])

Enter a 1 to disable the power-on zero function. Enter a 0 to enable power-on zero. The
power-on zero function attempts to acquire zero when the power on tests has completed.
If the weight on the scale is above the zero range, the display prompts “Err 0”. Press
the ENTER key to view the scale weight. Remove the weight from the scale to enter
weighing mode.
26
Parameter 21. Deadload Factor

The Deadload factor is automatically calculated by the calibration function. This
parameter is not accessible from the keyboard.
Parameter 22. Weight Conversion Factor

The weight conversion factor is automatically calculated by the calibration function.
This parameter is not accessible from the keyboard.
Serial I/O Ports

The AD-5000 is equipped with two bi-directional serial communication ports that can
communicate to an optional printer, a computer, bar code reader, a score board or other
serial communication devices. The baud rate and format can be set independently for
each port. Serial port 1 is normally used to output weight data and ID reports to a
printer. Serial port 2 is normally used for continuous output of weight data. Continuous
transmission can be enabled or disabled and the output format can be customized using

This test displays serial data as it is received by serial communications port 1. The
numeric display has limited alpha display capability, however numeric and some alpha
characters are legible. If all data being received is unintelligible, the baud rate is
probably incorrect. If nothing is displayed on the display, then check the following:
1. RS232/Current switch on the main circuit board.
2. Cabling between the communicating units.
3. Make sure the sending unit is actually sending data.
Press the CLEAR key to exit diagnostic test 1.
Diagnostic Test 2: Serial Com Port 1 – Display Errors
This test displays the number of framing and parity errors that are detected in the input
data stream. The error count is set to zero when entering this test. New errors are
displayed as “PxxFxx” where Pxx is the number of parity errors and Fxx is the number of
framing errors. If the error count exceeds 99, the display will remain at 99.
Press the CLEAR key to exit Diagnostic test 2.
46
Diagnostic Test 3: Serial Com Port 1 - Transmit Data

This test transmits data out of serial communications port 1. The display prompts: “OUT
0”. Press the ENTER key to send data. Serial Port 1 transmits “1234567890ABCDEF”
and prompts “OUT 1” to indicate that 1 transmission has occurred. Press the ENTER key
again or press the CLEAR key to exit diagnostic test 3.
NOTE: If the error message “Er CtS” appears, the data can not be transmitted because the
handshake signal, clear-to-send (TB1 pin 7), is low or not connected. If clear-to-send is
not used jumper it to data-terminal-ready (TB1 pin 4)
Diagnostic Test 4: Serial Com Port 2 - Display Input Data

This test displays serial data as it is received by serial communications port 2. The
numeric display has limited alpha display capability, however numeric and some alpha
characters are legible. If all data being received is unintelligible, the baud rate is
probably incorrect. If nothing is displayed on the display, then check the following:
1. RS232/RS485 jumper on the main circuit board.
2. Cabling between the communicating units.
3. Make sure the sending unit is actually sending data.
Press the CLEAR key to exit diagnostic test 4.
Diagnostic Test 5: Serial Com Port 2 – Display Errors

This test displays the number of framing and parity errors that are detected in the input
data stream. The error count is set to zero when entering this test. New errors are
displayed as “PxxFxx” where Pxx is the number of parity errors and Fxx is the number of
framing errors. If the error count exceeds 99, the display will remain at 99.
Press the CLEAR key to exit Diagnostic test 5.
Diagnostic Test 6: Serial Com Port 2 - Transmit Data

This test transmits data out of serial communications port 2. The display prompts: “OUT
0”. Press the ENTER key to send data. Serial Port 2 transmits “1234567890ABCDEF”
and prompts “OUT 1” to indicate that 1 transmission has occurred. Press the ENTER key
again or press the CLEAR key to exit diagnostic test 6.
Diagnostic Test 7: Test parallel output

This test transmits data out the parallel TTL I/O port. The display prompts: “dAtA”.
Use the numeric keyboard to enter data. Press the ENTER key to transmit the data. If
the data is successfully sent, “ 1= xxx” is displayed, where xxx is the first three
characters of the data sent and 1= is the number of times that the data has been sent.
Press the ENTER key to send the data again. Press the CLEAR key for the “dAtA”
prompt. Enter new data to transmit or press the CLEAR key to exit diagnostic test 3.
If the data is not successfully sent, the display will remain blank. If data is not sent
within 15 seconds, “Err 13” is displayed. Press the CLEAR key to exit from the error
47
display. The data will not transmit if the BUSY signal (TB4 pin 14) is active (TTL high).
Check the cable connections and the sending device.
Diagnostic Test 8: Test A/D

This test displays the (filtered) raw data being read from the A/D converter. Use this test
to determine optimum deadload and gain settings. If the number displayed at deadload is
less than 1000 or greater than 250,000 then use the deadload offset (parameter 19) to add
or subtract deadload from the signal input. NOTE: deadload offset is automatically set
using the calibration function 60. If the full-scale number displayed is less than 380,000
then use the “Loadcell mv/V” parameter to increase the gain. If the full-scale signal is
greater than 1,000,000 then use the “Loadcell mv/V” parameter to decrease the gain.
If no data is being displayed, the A/D converter is “locked up”. Turn power off and then
on and re-activate the test. Check load cell wiring for reversed signal or excitation
signals.
Press the PRINT key to scroll the AD test function from:
1. Display raw data (digital filter on).
2. Display and transmit via serial port 2, raw data (digital filter off).
3. Display A/D drift factor. Press the ENTER key to clear the drift factor to 0.
Press the CLEAR key to exit AD test.
Diagnostic Test 9: Perform internal memory test

This test writes data to memory and then reads it back to test for failed memory locations.
The existing data in memory is not affected by this test. The display prompts “r TEST”
while the test is in progress. The display prompts “PAS 32” if the test is successful. If an
error is detected the “Exxxx” is displayed, where xxxx is the location of the error.
Diagnostic Test 10: Lamp Test

This test turns on all the LED displays and numeric display segments. Replace any LED
or display that does not illuminate. Press the CLEAR key to exit diagnostic test 10.
Diagnostic Test 11: Print the EAROM Configuration Table

This function sends the contents to the EAROM configuration memory to the printer.
Use this function to document your setup of the when installation is complete.
Diagnostic Tests 12 & 13: Loop Back Tests

These tests are used by the factory to test the serial ports transmit and receive functions.
The transmit and receive lines must be jumpered together and the clear-to-send must be
jumpered to data-terminal-ready for this test.
